Great resource

Awesome dictionary app for Chinese. It makes great use of the underlying database and is loaded with tons of features. Use it all the time. The developer is also really good with app support and updates. One feature I would like to see added is the ability to add custom entries. Though the underlying databases are fairly good, there are words, especially technical vocabulary, in use in modern Chinese which are missing. Being able to add these to the app as custom entries would be great, especially for those using the trainer functionality.

Almost perfect

This app has a great set of features, but I would like to see a couple of features that are present in the DianHua added to this app, i.e., A list of related terms below the selected term and the ability to freeze frame jumbo sized flash card characters so that you can draw on them. With these additions I would definitely get the paid version.

Excellent

I love this app. It's one of the best quick dictionaries out there. I eventually purchased the flash card trainer, and I use it all the time now to study! Disadvantage- it doesn't give sentence examples. Advantages- it's neat and straightforward. Love love love!
